How to filter out some of the attributes?

[Bala Krishniah]

In my XML, each element has, say 10 attributes.....but I want to print only some of them. How do I do that...
I do not want to say...
<xsl:value-of select="../@attrib1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="../@attrib2"/>
:
I want to be able to filter out saying something like
<xsl:if test!="attrib1|attrib2">
<xsl:value-of select="@attrib1"/>
</xsl:if>
My xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
<cd title="Empire Burlesque" artist="Bob Dylan" country="USA"
company="Columbia" price="10.90" year="1985"
</cd>
.
.
.
</catalog>
I want to print only the values of the following attributes
artist, Country, company.
This is just an example....actually I have something like 20 attributes but I need to print only some of them.
Thanks in advance.

Bala, what exactly your filter is?
If you wantto test if an element has some attribute, you can use simply put it's name in a test expression - it means "exist".
For example:
<xsl:if test="catalog/cd/@country">
<xsl:value-of select="catalog/cd/@artist"/>
</xsl:if>
but I am not sure it is what you want.

For example, say you wanted to print the title attribute only if artist and title were both defined. Then you would use
<xsl:template match="cd">
 <xsl:if test="@artist">
  <xsl:if test="@title">
   <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
  </xsl:if>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
